Chapter 597: Those who disturb the noise, kill without mercy
"General, after marching all the way, the whole army will be exhausted. If we meet the Jin army at that time, we may not be able to fight." An officer beside Zhang Nan said in a low voice.
"Is there any other way?" There was a touch of sadness on Zhang Nan's face. The Song army was not strong enough. Conventional battles would be defeated but not victorious. Without troops and dangerous moves, there was nothing he could do.
"This is our only chance to make a comeback. Otherwise, it will be the difference between dying two days early and dying two days late." Zhang Nan looked at the mountains to the north and let out a long breath. Is there any difference between dying two days early and dying two days late? No.
the difference.
"General, all the troops and horses have crossed." More than half an hour later, Wen Zhongyue from the rear came over with a group of soldiers. By this time, all 20,000 Song troops had crossed Linshui.
"Brother Zhongyue, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Nan hugged his fists at Wen Zhongyue.
After exchanging polite words, the two of them returned to their respective formations, just as before, one leading the front and the other leading the rear.
Linshui is a large river with abundant water that runs through the entire Linhe County. However, in Xiaohou Mountain, the water flows mostly through the mountains. Except for the narrow water banks on both sides, the rest of the land is covered with undulating mountains and hills.
The Jin army, which has sufficient military strength, has long noticed this place. In the past two days, soldiers and horses have been secretly sneaking into it. Even if the Song army does not show up, the Jin army here will cross Xiaohou Mountain and kill Linshui in two days.
Go south.
These rugged mountains and hills are an obstacle to any army that is used to fighting on flat ground, but it just so happens that the King of Jin has an elite man who is as good at climbing over mountains and ridges as if he were walking on flat ground——
General Yu Yu Pu, whom Ning Daosi spoke of, was the Jin Army's Zhenwei General, a well-known general. All the soldiers and horses west of the Linshui camp were under his command. The main camp was stationed in a town northeast of Xiaohou Mountain.
In addition, various troops and horses that have been gathering in the west for the past two days have used the main stronghold as a node to spread a large fan-shaped net.
The reason why the force was contained but not leaked was because the force was not enough. Once it exploded, it would be a sickle that swept the 50,000 Song troops from the west to the south of the river.
The news of the Song army's crossing of the water was conveyed to the general tent by a flying horse. Amid loud laughter, the spider opened its big web and quietly waited for the arrival of its prey.
Twenty thousand Song troops, four abreast, one step apart from the front and back rows, the entire march stretched seven or eight miles from front to back, like a long snake winding between the mountains.
On the hill, Hu Qin looked at the Song army marching by the river not far away. He glanced coldly and said to Yu Pu beside him: "General, the Song army is completely unprepared as it marches. I will ask for orders and I am willing to charge him with all my best cavalry."
One punch!"
Yu Pu raised his head and looked at the sky. It had only been an hour and a half, but the Song army had arrived a little faster.
After humming, he stared at Hu Qin and said in a deep voice: "Don't fight hard, just disturb the enemy." The King of Jin had a lot of cavalry, but now more than 80% of them were transferred to Dizhou to defend against the King of Tang.
Only 20,000 to 30,000 horsemen followed the army southward, and they were divided into two groups.
Linhe County is one of the routes, and Yu Pu's army is only the right wing of this route army. The total number of Hu Qin's troops is only more than 2,000. Yu Pu also thought that after crossing the river, he would rely on these two thousand to make a sudden attack. If
The damage here is too great, which would make people laugh.
"Yes!" Hu Qin said in a sonorous and forceful tone. As soon as he finished speaking, he reined in the horse, sat down, and the horse turned around and ran down the mountain. After a while, he disappeared from sight.
"Da da da - da da da -"
The muffled sound of horse hooves came.
Zhang Nan's face suddenly condensed. This was the sound of hooves from the charging cavalry.
"Enemy attack - enemy attack -"
Just before he was about to convey the general's order, a shrill scream came from the vanguard at the front.
"Woo-wu-wu-wu-"
In the distant mountains and forests, the distant sound of horns came.
"Set up the formation - set up the formation -" Zhang Nan held a big sword in his hand and rushed out from behind on horseback, shouting all the way: "Set up the formation according to the order, and those who disturb and make noise will be killed without mercy."
It can be imagined that it is not easy to transform from a rapid march to a military formation, especially in the peaceful area beside the river.
Just as Zhang Nan was shouting to suppress the formation, a long and shrill howl resounded through the sky.
"Come on -"
"Kill--"
Amidst the continuous shouting, two thousand fine cavalry followed Hu Qin and rushed out from a valley branch at the front of the Song army, rushing towards the Song army who was still in chaos like a tide.
The roaring sound of horse hooves gradually came closer. Hu Qin looked at the frail and chaotic military formation in his eyes, with a helpless and bitter smile on his face.
"Using cavalry on such terrain." Zhang Nan was unexpected. He was not worried that his 20,000-strong army would be defeated and disintegrated, because there was not enough frontage to use cavalry on a large scale in this kind of riverside terrain.
Yes, this galloping cavalry group must be a small team.
From the sound, it seemed that there were only one or two thousand horsemen, maybe even less. Zhang Nan raised his eyes and looked at the valley where the thunderous sound was rolling out. His long experience in martial arts allowed him to roughly judge the number of enemy troops.
With this little cavalry, in the current terrain, the most they can do is defeat the vanguard. Zhang Nan was convinced that when the enemy cavalry rushed into the Chinese army, a neat military formation would definitely stand in front of them. He felt really worried in his heart
What's more, the whereabouts have been exposed. It's too early at this point!
With the deafening sound of subway hooves, more than two thousand light riders swept in like the wind sweeping away the remaining clouds.
"Stand up a shield——"
"Hold your gun——"
Although he knew that he could not change the outcome of the front army, Zhang Nan still shouted loudly in front of the formation.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-"
More than a dozen large shields stood on the ground, followed later by swordsmen holding short swords. Regardless of whether they were heavy shield soldiers or swordsmen, everyone was concentrating and holding their breath, huddled behind the shields, and held their heads tightly.
Lean on.
Dozens of spears pierced out diagonally, one into one, and were placed on top of the shield, like a forest of spears standing on the ground.
However, the neatness and might of the Song Army's front army was just such a "flash in the pan". Behind them and in front of them, more follow-up teams that should have been separated and neatly arranged were now in chaos. Only the small group where Zhang Nan was located
The defenses have been deployed outside the block, and such a single line of defense is no deterrent at all.
Knowing that they were outmatched and unable to stop them, the two hundred Song Army sergeants beside Zhang Nan could only hold on under the supervision of Zhang Nan himself. They continued to obey Zhang Nan's orders, and all stepped forward, relying on
With shields and spears in hand, they set up a simple formation to resist horses and spears at the waist of the front army.
"What a pity! There are too few people -" Hu Qin, who was charging forward, sneered. Standing high on the horse, he could clearly see the posture of the Song army's front army. With this weak and vulnerable military formation,
, how could he possibly block the two thousand Qingqi behind him.
The spear was hung on the victory hook. Hu Qin put his legs on the horse and stretched his right hand under the saddle. He already had a bow in his hand and a sharp arrow. He leaned up and down on the horse and stretched his right hand backwards. By the time he retracted his body back onto the horse, the full-moon riding bow in his hand had returned to normal, and the unstrung arrow was streaking through the air——
"咻咻——"
The sharp arrows instantly cut through the air, emitting a sharp scream. Of the two thousand elite cavalry, only one-tenth of the soldiers could shoot on horseback, so there were more than two hundred arrows in this round.
"Puff-"
"Uh-"
The Song soldiers at the forefront turned around and ran back even more panicked.
Just this round of arrow rain caused hundreds of Song soldiers to fall to the ground in an instant. Some unlucky ones, two people on top of each other, were stabbed back and forth by an arrow, like pieces of meat on bamboo sticks, and the sharp arrows shot from Below, the belly of the Song Army soldier was exposed, and a stream of bright red blood flowed to the ground along the arrow cluster——
"drive--"
Hu Qin shouted loudly, lightly reined in his horse, and his mount immediately turned around flexibly, cutting the Song army in diagonally. He fell slightly forward, his body suddenly shook, and it bounced like a bowstring. At the same time, he picked up his gun with his left hand. Place it in your right hand and thrust forward like lightning, point, point, point——
The three panicked Song soldiers had bloody arrows shot out from their chests or throats——
Miserable howls sounded continuously, and many Song soldiers were pushed to the ground by their own people and could never get up again.
"Fire the arrow——"
"Fire the arrow——"
"Swish swish——"
"咻咻咻——"
Not neatly, but continuously. A wave of arrows covered the entire front line of the Song Army, and the small formation next to Zhang Nan immediately became loose.
In a moment, the front line of the Song Army was in chaos again. Not only the square formation in front of him, but also the military formation that had slowly become more orderly behind him suddenly collapsed. Countless Song Army soldiers fell down wailing in pain - —
"Humph——" With an angry voice, Zhang Nan raised the knife with his right hand and moved it upwards, and two arrows fell from his head. In mid-air, Zhang Nan reached out and grabbed one, and held one in his hand.
"call out--"
A powerful sound broke through the air. Zhang Nan grabbed the arrow and threw it with his backhand——
"Pfft--" was the sound of a sharp arrow piercing the flesh. A Jin army cavalry not far away fell off his horse at the sound.
"Come die!"
Hu Qin stabbed the spear in his hand randomly, laughing loudly. The body of the spear was like a blur of black shadows, which was so fast that it made people look unfriendly. However, to the left and right in front of the horse, soldiers of the Song Army were streaking across the path. Under the cold forest light, life was lost here.
"Dog thief——" A military commander stood up and roared, raising his sword to meet Hu Qin.
"when!"
The clear sound of gold and iron clashing was deafening. Hu Qin used his horse power to knock out the sword from the hands of Sima of the Song Army.
The spear in Hu Qin's hand paused for a moment, and the remaining force was still strong. A cold star flew down the throat of the Song Army Sima. Hot blood spattered, and a hole as big as a fist appeared in the Sima's neck.
"Uh-huh -" Zai Tou fell to the ground.
"Steady! Steady!" Zhang Nan no longer only paid attention to that small formation. Seeing that the front and rear troops, who had shown some signs of recovery, were panicking again, he couldn't help but ride his horse down and yell.
"Kill..."
"Rush..."
At this time, the Song Army's central army and the Song Army's rear formation suddenly let out loud and loud shouts of killing.
Zhang Nan, who was still shouting, suddenly changed his face. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! Mobile phone users please go to m. this site to read.)
